Lola Hayes

Get Your Lola runnin’

Break her out of Broadway!

Looking for adventure

And a masked man from our play.

-

Yeah, Lola's gonna make it happen

Take all of Arkham in a love embrace

Play all the factions all at once

And, transcend time and space!

-

Whoa, those roles look frightening

They really make me wonder

What if theyre restrictive

That’s some pressure i`ll be under!

-

Lola, we’re gonna make it happen

Take bits of Arkham in a love embrace

Play those factions but sort of one at a time then

And, transcend time and space!

-

She’s a true nature's child

She was born, born to be wild

She can climb so high

You’ve just got to try

-

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

-

Got my Lola runnin’

Broke her out of Broadway!

Was set up for adventure

Then she threw it all away!

-

Hey Lola, why`d make that happen?

What happened to our “love embrace”

We had loads of cool stuff in play at once,

Then, you threw it back in my face

-

Like a true nature's child

She was born, born way too wild

She could climb so high

But now im gonna cry.

-

Born a bit too wild

Born a bit too wild

Winging It

I really underestimated this card. Winging It is one of the best clue gathering tools around for Survivors. -1 Shroud may not seem like a lot, but it makes any 3 Shroud location "Look what I found!"-able: when played from the discard pile, you can guarantee you'll net 2 clues from a 3 or less shroud location. Even better- this shuffles back into your deck after being played from the discard pile, so you can simply Drawing Thin yourself into it over and over again.

This is especially nice for people who don't have hand slots to spare for Flashlight or Lantern. Rita Young for example likes using both hands for Baseball Bat and Ornate Bow. Similarly, William Yorick builds sometimes rely on the bat and Old Hunting Rifle. Survivor versions of Tony Morgan should probably consider this card as well since Tony will likely have his hands full with a pair of Colts.

Both Wendy Adams and "Ashcan" Pete can use their special abilities to throw it in the discard and get the better activation of the card earlier. Calvin Wright can use it to help delay Voice of the Messenger slightly (along with Impromptu Barrier and Improvised Weapon). If trying to keep Calvin as trauma light as possible for future campaigns, this seems like a pretty necessary way to go about it.

Why would Rita use this? Sounds like you're banking on finding a lot of 1-shroud locations, or otherwise the +1 clues will never trigger. Think there's better options over including this just to make locations LWIF-able — flamebreak · 27
The Shadow Behind You

Q: With "The Shadow Befind You," can you "discard all of your resources" if you have no resources?

A: No-- whenever you are presented a choice with the word 'must' and only one of the options will affect the board state, you have to chose that option. (see rules reference: 'Must')

If the word 'must' was not there, you could choose an option that does not do anything.

And in the instance where you have no resources or cards, you won't have satisified either of the first parts, which means you won't do the 'then' part, discarding Shadow Behind You. (see rules reference: 'Then')

Basically, there's no way you get out of this without discarding a card or a resource at somepoint, unless you just stay at nothing forever.

-- Thanks to user 'legrac' on the ArkhamHorrorLCG for the above clarification!

Agency Backup

Leo Anderson has friends in high places.

  • A touch cheaper (same prices as the other Leo) and actionless if played with Leo's special ability.
  • Or pay in installments, with somebody else Leo hired cheap.
  • Leo's got the bankroll to afford them, thanks to dubious life choices, and a fondness for guns that shoot money.
  • Non-unique, so you can second them to your intern.
  • Versatile. Actionless AND Testless dmg & clues... clues in particular a nice add for Leo's meh booklearnin'.
  • After which they love to be Inspired, which Leo has a habit of doing with his other friends in medium places.

Obviously not showing up early in a campaign, and likely not among your first upgrades.

I roleplay Leo as a cross between Zap Brannigan & L. Ron Hubbard given his employment practices, so I like to think the feds aren't so much showing up as "backup" but rather because they'd "like to ask him a few questions."

Soothing Melody

Regarding Carolyn Ferns ability:

  • Playing this card to heal 1 horror from two different investigators, makes both gain 1 ressource (as with Clarity of Mind).
  • If she plays this card to heal 1 horror from two different assets from the same investigator, does he gain 1 or 2 ressources?

I believe it's exactly like liquid courage; it heals horror twice, but there's only one effect. Her ability only cares about the number of effects that heal horror, so one effect having multiple instances of healing will still only count as one. — SGPrometheus · 847
Liquid courage says „additional“ so it’s clearly one instance of horror healing. But if melody targets two different assets I think it’s two separate effects, even if they belong to the same investigator. — Django · 5163
Its grey zone, but trying to interpret her ability i would say you only activate her ability once, as there is only one healing effect. But as with chaos tokens when there are multiple token pull her ability can still target multiple assets. Based on this with one investigator 2 assets i would say only 1 resource but 2 different investigators could get 1-1 resource. ("Te healed card's controller gains 1 resource") — vidinufi · 69
